Okay, I waited four pages...now I will speak my mind.
This is not an attack. This is merely how things appear from my perspective.
Rick, you ALWAYS seem to have an issue with your clients. They are all a PITA. Even before the gig has started.
Sometimes before you've even met them!
I simply cannot believe that one DJ can end up with ALL of the overly demanding brides.
And if, by fate, you DO end up with all the bad ones, I cannot believe you haven't found a better way to handle them.
It seems as if you avoid actually talking to them. Rather, you leave all communications in the hands of technology.
We all know how the true meaning something TYPED cannot be misunderstood.
You ARE in a business that is based upon communication...why not pick up the phone when there is a problem?
Pro, you ALWAYS seem to have sunny skies and smooth sailing.
I simply cannot believe that a DJ can either NEVER have an annoying client, or NEVER have a bad gig.
If you have so much success, why do you never share any of the those ACTUAL experiences with the rest of us?
You truly enjoy telling others why they made a mistake, and how they could have avoided/handled it.
It's easy to be a Monday Morning Quarterback and play, "See, I told you so"...
so why not lead by example, and give us a gig log of some of your successes?
Am I perfect? Not by any stretch of the imagination. Even MY imagination.
But I am really good at dealing with clients, and people in general. I've done it pretty much every day of my career.
They're not always happy, easily satisfied, or a pleasure to work with.
But in the end, if I don't get my way, I make sure that my concerns are heard and understood.
If they don't get their way, I make sure that they know they made smart decision for the success of the final outcome.
